What happens when I submit a check image via ONB Mobile Deposit?
Once you submit the check image, the deposit is temporarily posted to your account (memo-posted). Upon receipt of the digital image, ONB will review the image for acceptability. After the file is accepted* by ONB, the check image is sent into the payment processing system (hard-posted) for collection. Items sent for processing are subject to the normal payment system requirements and subject to funds available in the account the check was issued. Acceptance by ONB does not guaranty that the item is collectible.
* ONB reserves the right to reject any deposit within two business days after the item is submitted via ONB Mobile Deposit.
What does ONB mean that “I will endorse the back of the original check” ?
In order for ONB to retrieve funds regarding a physical check from another bank on your behalf, your approval is needed. This approval is made when you sign the back of the check, which is the act of endorsement. Prior to capturing the images of the original check, you are asked to complete the following steps in the Endorsement section on the back of the check:
- Write the Account Number you want the funds deposited. This should match the account that you choose in the ONB Mobile Deposit feature of our App.
- Write the current Date, which will correspond to the Date the image was captured and submitted.
- Write the words “via ONB Mobile Deposit”.
- Sign the check.
